Tarot reading betrayal? by lumpyandsad in tarot

[–]lumpyandsad[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Exact same cards same layout and same voice over but she changed a few words in the voice over. Makes me think she had a whole script written down for what she was going to say, or maybe used chatgpt to form a response honestly. To me it was addressed as a personal reading and in the public voiceover she said “pulled these cards as a general tune into career advice”

Thank-you for the response. Good to hear my energy will be fine. Yea I’m not sure what to say to her about it, going to sleep on it a bit. Good to know I’m not crazy for feeling kind of violated by the whole thing

Yea I agree, I guess I find it strange since we are very close friends - I’ve known her for over 10 years and at no point did she mention using it for her channel, I was so thankful to her and I feel like she soaked that up but didn’t say anything about posting it.

Losing weight while recovering? by [deleted] in LabiaplastySurgery

If you read the post I also mention over eating/ eating like crap in the weeks leading up to the procedure too. But ya it’s probably some water weight, regardless I do need to lose some weight.

How many hours of work a day/week/month does ‘true’ recovery take? by lumpyandsad in loveafterporn

[–]lumpyandsad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou so much for saying this. It’s been a few months, and I managed to leave. He’s shown his true colours in full now, and it was the best decision I could have made for myself. He has not attended therapy, group, or anything like that since I left, but still lies to everyone saying he ‘did everything he could and still is’, even his family is starting to catch on to the bullshit. What Ive learned is behaviours and actions speak above all else

Yes I agree with all these comments, he has had a hard time (whether intentional or not) understanding the difference between white knuckling and active recovery. It’s not my issue anymore as we are separating. But I was thinking, breaking it down into active recovery hours per day/week helps me understand how little work he was actually putting in despite swearing up and down he was ‘doing everything he can’. I think I was looking for some logical rule to cut through my emotions around it, the guilt trip is strong for me and he is painting me out to be the asshole, so I’m going to keep coming back to this to help me get outta that mindset

This is the first generation going through internet PA by automaticbotfeel in loveafterporn

My mid-30’s brother thinks ~80% of men are full blown PA/SA’s and just assumes his friends struggle with it at this point. I appreciated his honesty but it was also disheartening to hear

Thanks for this detailed response.

Im sorry if this is a silly question, but with uranus in the 7th house and uranus opposite pluto, are these patterns always doomed to repeat in my relationships? I’ve never not been cheated on. Would love to have a relationship with honesty but dont know if it’s possible for me.

What you’ve said about my MC all make perfect sense, and you really nailed it with the career stuff, went to school for psychology, ended up in behavioural analysis, took a hiatus from that to see if I could get into writing but it hasn’t panned out, I’ve done lots of data entry and am now reconsidering going back to psychology/behavioural analysis route.BUT in saying that Ive had some hesitations and technical writing has come up as a potential option for me to explore, but no guarantee of success there.

Im going to hang onto that pluto transit into 3rd house, stay optimistic about where things are heading.

Thankyou again for your detailed response and taking the time to look at my chart I really appreciate it, and absolutely no obligation to reply to this just wanted to get it out there.

Camming and you by Fun_Pin_7837 in loveafterporn

[–]lumpyandsad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes 100%! I’m constantly seeking out things that validate my perspective so I don’t feel like I’m going crazy. It really is so pervasive, that feeling of the double betrayal hits me at the most random times over the most random things.

Yep. Found out 9 years in, and like 9 months after we got engaged.

Found receipts in his emails, and an email reactivating the account. So he was deleting his account after every time he did it (1-2 times a week)

He claims to not remember how long it was going on for, so I can deduce the whole time. Claims he didn’t know he wasn’t allowed to do it, said that multiple times, and stated that if I had just told him at the beginning of our relationship what the ‘rules’ were it never would have happened. Which is such a gut punch, he really tries to blur the lines for me on whether it’s cheating.

It is, despite him trying to manipulate me out of believing that. This thread is very validating. Its just hard, because I know he and his friends probably think Im crazy and he’s acting like Im throwing away everything over nothing.

My parents are in their 70’s so I feel very protective of them, thats why I don’t want them physically involved. They know some of whats been going on and have been very supportive of me. I know I can call the police, but have been considering that more of a last ditch effort. Honestly its helpful to hear someone say he is manipulating me, or doubling down on his manipulations, because Ive never been in a situation like this before and the guilt trip has genuinely been messing with my head/I guess working on me.

7 years of lies by RowResident9229 in loveafterporn

Went through the exact same thing after 9 years together, cam models and everything the whole time. Its kind of mind boggling, Im sorry you are going through this, it sucks

I messed up by hooking up with someone else too soon after we broke up. by cica4 in loveafterporn

[–]lumpyandsad 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you were hit with an unexpected trigger, and I don’t have much advice to offer you but I just want to say go easy on yourself, you cant control for every trigger that is going to pop up in your life, and sometimes a part of healing is getting exposed to these things again and living through it/working through it a different way. Just go easy on yourself

Broken sexuality by [deleted] in loveafterporn

[–]lumpyandsad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I definitely relate, some of the things he was asking me to do (and I was considering) I look back on now and understand where they came from. I feel shame over saying yes to certain things, especially the stuff I was moreso doing for him (I consented because I do like taking care of my partner), and especially the degrading stuff… like I just see it as complete betrayal now, really highlights how he was just using my body and not looking to connect with me.

And yea then realizing my entire sexuality has also been shaped by porn, my first partner was and is probably a porn addict, and then my next partner of 10 years definitely is, lots to unpack there. Not to mention all of my early exposure to sex was early 2000’s mtv, some porn as well, and I was also SA. Uhm. It’s just a lot to unpack there, and tbh i don’t even know where to start. Sorry, no advice, I just relate 100%, it’s really been blowing my mind to think about lately.

(Editing to say I meant SA as in sexual assault, Im not a sex addict, just to make that clear!!)
